{"product_id":"spires-the-alchemist","title":"Spires: The Alchemist","description":"\u003cp\u003eWorldwide release date Friday August 28, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the events at Vatsdam, we can now confirm that the Alchemist prevailed against his doubters within Nepenthe - at least for now - and is once more considered a significant influence. He was pivotal in the negotiations that opened the doors to Boronest’s Court and a new era for the Merchant Princes. This, unfortunately, was largely due to the steel secured by the ceasefire agreement with Brandengrad’s throne. Boronest reports also indicate that a significant network of human informants and agents - often coerced through addiction to the Alchemist’s concoctions - has been formed, while the Alchemist maintains contact with many of King Fredrik’s enemies, within Riismark and without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHOW IT PLAYS IN FIRST BLOOD - A warped reflection of how merchant princes typically leverage the battlefield, the Alchemist prefers his enemies indebted to him. His influence grows as the enemy flourishes, as after all, pride goes before a fall. Able to procure a hasty enemy, the Alchemist can turn a moment’s impetus into their ultimate demise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHOW IT PLAYS IN TLAOK - Sinister diplomat and cunning strategist, the Alchemist makes offers his enemies cannot refuse, never interrupting them as they inevitably follow the path to their own demise. Once the trap is sprung, the full might of the Spires’ forces is unleashed upon the unsuspecting enemy, while airship barrages cripple enemy positions. The Alchemist is available for Casual and Narrative play, while in TLAOK Organized Play he can be used as a Merchant Prince.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DMZ HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44116825964610,"sku":"PBW7123","price":264.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/playatdmz.com\/products\/spires-the-alchemist","provider":"DMZ HK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
